Friends,

I’ve made some important changes to the petition to make it more direct, powerful, and easier to understand for people outside the endometriosis community. The goal is to break through the confusion, highlight the urgency, and inspire faster action.

The updated petition now includes:

• Clearer explanations of why this is a public health emergency
• Stronger legal framing, including ADA recognition, 14th Amendment protections, and precedent-setting cases from the US and abroad
• Powerful visuals that show both the human cost and the systemic neglect we are fighting to end
• A refined call to action for investigation, reform, and accountability across all institutions that touch a patient’s life
• If you’ve signed, you are already helping create change. But to truly make an impact, we need this petition in front of thousands more people—fast.
• The UK’s menstrual leave petition gained over 50,000 signatures in under two weeks. We can do this too, but only with your help.

Here’s what you can do right now:

• Share the petition link directly with friends, family, co-workers, and advocacy groups.
• Post it on social media with a personal note on why you signed.
• Ask at least 3 people you know to sign and share.
  
  

Every share matters. Every new signature builds momentum. Together, we can turn this into a movement the government and lawmakers cannot ignore.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight for justice and reform.
